They don't wish to miss my words of wisdom otherwise they would have started their own forum and kept me out ;-)) will be interested in http://www.iwcp.co.uk/news/news/bota...ght-40860.aspx Well they will peep but not admit because it is posted by me :-)) Even worse if I had gone via gardenbanter :-))))) Mike -- ....................................

Shanklin Theatre is used by very few people on the IOW, and the fact its not been commercially viable for many years, does very much support the fact this is the case. However the IOW library is something that is used and enjoyed by large numbers of people on the island, so would it not be a very good idea for you to direct your efforts toward helping the libraries, rather than wasting them on what seems to be a bit of a lost cause? |
